Few flooring upgrades deliver the same mix of style, strength and sustainability as polished concrete. San Antonio homeowners searching for a surface that feels custom yet endures South-Texas heat are increasingly turning to CountBricks. Our AI-driven estimating platform, real-time material pricing and experienced finishing crews make us the city’s go-to partner for residential polished concrete projects.
• Contemporary aesthetic that pairs with modern, farmhouse or industrial décor
• Reflective finish amplifies natural light, brightening open-plan spaces
• Dense, sealed surface resists stains from BBQ drips, pet accidents and kids’ spills
• Thermal mass moderates indoor temperatures, trimming HVAC costs during San Antonio’s long summers
• Virtually zero VOCs when installed and finished properly
Traditional contractors rely on dated price books and handwritten measurements. CountBricks replaces guesswork with technology:
1. Voice-powered onsite walkthroughs instantly capture room dimensions and structural notes
2. Our AI cross-checks real-time material prices and local labor rates
3. You receive an accurate digital estimate within minutes, not days

1. Slab Assessment: Moisture tests, hardness readings and crack mapping guide the polishing plan
2. Surface Prep: Diamond grinding removes laitance and opens the concrete for densifier penetration
3. Densification: Lithium-based hardener chemically fills pores, increasing abrasion resistance
4. Progressive Polishing: Multiple grit passes—from 50 up to 1500 or higher—create the desired sheen
5. Stain or Dye (optional): Custom colors, saw-cut patterns or logos add personality to your floor
6. Final Guard & Burnish: A protective guard is burnished to a high gloss, locking in long-term durability
Every residence is unique, but our data shows most polished concrete San Antonio projects land between $4.25 and $7.75 per square foot. Variables include:
• Existing slab condition—repairs, leveling or adhesive removal add labor hours
• Aggregate exposure—salt-and-pepper finishes demand fewer grind passes than full-stone reveals
• Gloss level—high-mirror sheens require finer grits and more polish steps
• Design extras—saws, stencils or metallic dyes raise material costs
Because CountBricks pulls live pricing from local suppliers, you see exactly where each dollar goes. No hidden mark-ups, no surprises on installation day.
Polished concrete outperforms many flooring types in the Alamo City’s hot, humid environment. The dense surface rejects mold growth, and its thermal mass stores cool nighttime temperatures, easing daytime AC loads. CountBricks technicians also apply UV-stable guards to prevent color fade from intense Texas sun that streams through oversized patio doors.
• Dry dust-mop daily to collect grit that could dull the shine
• Damp-mop weekly with pH-neutral cleaner—avoid harsh chemicals
• Re-burnish high-traffic zones every 18-24 months for like-new gloss
• Schedule a CountBricks yearly inspection; our crew will check guard performance and spot-treat scratches
How long does installation take? A typical 1,200-sq-ft single-story home requires 3-4 working days, including cure times.
Will it crack? All concrete can crack, but our pre-pour joint planning and post-pour control cuts minimize random cracking. Existing cracks are repaired with semi-rigid polyurea before polishing.
Is it slippery? Despite the gloss, polished concrete meets residential slip-resistance standards. We can increase traction with micro-etch techniques in bathrooms or pool houses.
CountBricks excels at cross-trade coordination. When your remodel also includes new cabinetry or interior walls, our AI schedules the concrete crew alongside framing, electrical and paint teams so the floor finishes last—and stays pristine. View sample timelines at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
